If you have a problem during any system update with mutter-performance & gnome-shell-performance, please install mutter & gnome-shell packages from the main repository and do full upgrade first, then build the performance packages later.

If you are using [gnome-unstable] and [extra-testing] repositories, use mutter-performance-unstable


The default patch list includes "Dynamic triple buffering(!1441)", "text-input-v1(!3751)".

Latest Dynamic triple buffering patch has several included MRs from the main development branch to achieve maximum performance.


To enable a specific MR in the Merge Requests List, add an line "_merge_requests_to_use+=('<MR number>')" at the end of PKGBUILD. (Because if you edit the line directly you can be able to end up with merge conflict upon updates.)

You can see some patches' git history here: https://git.saltyming.net/sungmg/mutter-performance-source/

If you are getting errors like fatal: bad revision '73e8cf32' while building this package, refer to PKGBUILD and see which patches caused this. Then, go to the related URLs, replace the commit hashes. If there are conflicts, comment out the patches.

Please notify me in comment section if this happens.


The optional performance patches are by default enabled.

@Terence Yes, reverting !651 helped. I have been running without !651 the whole day now without experiencing the described issue.

Terence commented on 2019-08-04 13:59 (UTC)

@Shinto Try reverting the last commit and see if it helps.

I'm experiencing massive delays (feels like 10fps) since one of the recent commits for all mouse and keyboard inputs. Only a re-login fixes it. I cannot reproduce it reliably, but it occurred multiple times now in the past 5 hours.

Thanks @gedgon, really appreciate it, added!

The issue reported by @truongan here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-performance/#comment-702729

is resolved for me by commenting out !711.

Terence commented on 2019-08-02 16:06 (UTC)

@glorious-yellow I already added it 4 hours ago ;)

@gedgon same here using NVIDIA and Chrome. Looks like the animation in the Solitaire application on Windows 95 lol
